Harvestworks offers several internships, in return for time worked, interns can enroll without charge in our internationally acclaimed classes, gain teaching experience through our “Interns Teach Interns” initiative, and receive access to lab equipment free of charge. Individual arrangements (e.g. in compliance with the requirements of your school) up to a full-time position, or positions for credit, can be made if necessary.

We’re looking for a new intern who has writing experience and an interest in art/technology. The ideal intern will be great at finding new and useful content from around the web that would be of interest to the Harvestworks audience (e.g. new music, new media art, sound art, hacks, performance videos, new technologies and software, Internet culture, etc. …). The intern will then be in charge of daily blog posts, but will also have the opportunity to work on Harvestworks projects and performances.

Besides having excellent written English and a passion for art and technology, this intern should also have these qualities:

- Strong work ethic and loyalty- Attention to detail- Attention to project deadlines- The ability to work both independently and as part of a team- A flexible schedule

Work from distance is not a problem but we strongly encourage NY-based people to meet at Harvestworks and become part of the community.

We’d like the ideal candidate to write around 4 short posts per day (150-300 words). We will usually provide 2 links a day related to Harvestworks activities, but the candidate should and will be able to find their own material to write about. The blog will be the core of a wider social media strategy that will include all our other media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, Tumblr.

Ideal writers should already be active on social media platforms. We are looking for writers who are willing to build on our existing platform to connect and grow their audience as they develop their personal and professional skills, learn about art and technology, and become part of a larger art community. Most importantly, their passion must show through!

Emilio Vavarella was born in Monfalcone (Italy) in 1989. His artistic practice focuses on political philosophy and contemporary technological power with a particular emphasis on the aesthetics of error, subjectivity, mediated identity, biopolitics and social control. His work is informed by his studies on the history of conceptual art, digital and network culture, and new media practices. Through the use of new media he highlights the ambiguous spaces of power, such as unexpected errors and unpredictability. He believes that by doing so, the intrinsic logic and hidden structures of power are revealed and an intellectual resistance is formed.
As an artist, he has collaborated with engineers to produce new software to take pictures of the shape of information inside his computer, has worked with errors in Google Street View technology, has investigated the possibilities of error in Facebook’s facial recognition technology and has written memories into the ASCII code of vintage family photos, altering the images in a new and unpredictable way. More recently, he has focused on creating multimedia immersive installations with glitched holograms of Italian cities, altered by human memories.
In 2013, he completed with honors his M.F.A from Iuav University of Venice with a thesis on Error and Metamorphosis in New Media Art. He has also studied art in Sicily and Barcelona, and completed with honors a B.A. in Art History, Criticism and Methodology at the University of Bologna. This past year, he spent four months in Tel Aviv at Bezalel Academy of Arts’ studio residency program and four months at Bilgi University of Istanbul.
Emilio’s work has been shown internationally and he has participated in a number of conferences and festivals and has won several prizes and fellowships. Most notably, he has recently exhibited at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, GLITCH Festival, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Mediterranea16 – Young Artists Biennial, Fondazione Studio Marangoni, Boston Cyberarts Gallery, Jarach Gallery, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina. Images and texts from his work and exhibitions have been published in: ARTFORUM, Flash Art, il Giornale dell’Arte, WIRED, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, The Verge, Furtherfield, The Creators Project, Mashable, DIGICULT, Daily Mail, El Paìs, laRepubblica, MOUSSE, Hyperallergic, ANIMAL, Artribune, and The Collector Tribune, among others. He currently lives and works in New York.
